GBP/USD

The British pound rallied a bit during the course of the week, as it touched the 1.36 level, which is a large, round, psychologically significant figure that has drawn a lot of attention. If the market can break above that point, then the 1.38 level could be targeted next, as it was a major swing high.

Short-term pullbacks at this point could be expected, as traders will be waiting to see what the Federal Reserve has to say on Thursday, which, of course, will have a major influence on the US dollar itself.

Bitcoin
 

Bitcoin rallied a bit during the week to break above the $115,000 level, but it now looks as though it is still stuck in a consolidation area. A market rally at this point in time could send Bitcoin all the way to the $120,000 level, which has previously served as a massive barrier.

On the other hand, a drop from that point could see the $110,000 mark becoming a support level. Ultimately, this is a market that has been stuck in a bit of a range. It likely would have to see a bit more in the way of risk appetite to truly take off to the upside.

EUR/USD

The euro moved all over the place during the trading week, although it continued to consolidate in the same general region. Traders witnessed the European Central Bank interest rate decision, and, of course, they will have the Federal Reserve interest rate decision on Thursday of the coming week to keep in mind. 

At this point, the currency pair has been hanging around the same consolidation area between the 1.16 level on the bottom and the 1.18 level on the top. The candlestick structure on the chart seems less than exciting, but it is worth noting that the previous 3 candlesticks were hammer formations. I think traders will have to wait until the Federal Reserve decision is out of the way to see whether or not the euro can truly break out above the 1.18 level.

USD/CHF

The US dollar initially fell against the Swiss franc, before it turned around to show signs of life. The 0.79 level is one that traders will likely be paying close attention to, as it is an area that has previously seen a lot of support. Therefore, the 0.79 level will likely continue to see a large amount of back-and-forth movement. 

If the currency pair can turn around and rally from here, then the 0.80 level could be targeted as a potential barrier. However, a break above that point could see the market drive all the way to the 0.81 level without much change.

Crude Oil

Crude oil rallied during the course of the week as the commodity showed signs of life, before it struggled at the $64 level. The $64 level is an area that has previously been a significant one, so it would be worth watching whether or not crude oil can break above there.

If it can turn around and fall from here, the $62 level should offer a significant amount of support, as it has over the last month. Any move below that point would likely test the large, round, psychologically significant $60 level.

Nasdaq 100

The Nasdaq 100 rallied during the course of the week, showing signs of strength as it broke above the 24,000 level. The index will likely continue to pay close attention to the Federal Reserve, as it’s estimated that the Federal Reserve will cut rates next week. This has a lot of people excited, and therefore we’ve seen the Nasdaq 100 truly take off to the upside.

At this point in time, it’s difficult to think of anything other than buying, but it would also make sense to wait for some type of short-term pullback in order to find value if you get the opportunity.

AUD/USD

The Australian dollar finally broke out of its consolidation range last week, as it tested the 200-week EMA at the 0.6679 level. This market's price action has been so benign for so long, the fact that it is waking up at all at this point is worth noting.

If it can break above the 20-week EMA, then the Australian dollar could go looking toward the 0.68 level. Pullbacks at this point in time could drive the Australian dollar back down to the 0.6550 level, which is an area that has seen some notable movement.

USD/CAD

The US dollar fluctuated against the Canadian dollar during the week, as it threatened the 50-week EMA. If it can break above the 50-week EMA on a weekly close, then I think such a move could see the US dollar reach towards the 1.40 level. If it can break above even further from there, then the market could go looking toward the 1.43 level.

If it pulls back from here, I would look for support near the 1.37 level, as it has been a rather important figure over the last six weeks or so. Keep in mind that there is still no trade agreement between these 2 countries in dealing with the most recent tariffs, which is a bit of a problem for the Canadian dollar.
